At least 12,000 people have been evacuated via Kabul airport since the start of a tumultuous rescue effort last Sunday. They include a mix of western government staff and aid agency workers, as well as Afghan residents who have worked with western governments or their agencies, or are perceived to be particularly at risk due to the nature of their work, such as journalists, translators or human rights activists.

The majority, approximately 7,000, were flown out of Kabul on cargo aircraft by the US military. The UK said it had taken about 1,200 people out of the country by Wednesday morning, while Germany's defence minister said on Friday afternoon it had taken about 1,700 people to safety.

Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, said his country had flown 550 people out Afghanistan so far, while France and Italy say they have evacuated about 500 people each. Other nation states included in the evacuation effort include Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland and Switzerland.
Where are they now?
Most military planes out of Kabul have stopped off in Uzbekistan's capital, Tashkent, Doha in Qatar or Islamabad in Pakistan, where evacuees have been put on to regular flights to the receiving country.

Some Afghans, mostly civilians who have worked with US or international missions in the country, will be temporarily sheltered in Albania, Kosovo or northern Macedonia while their American visas are being processed. The three Balkan countries, which are due to receive agreed numbers of Afghan evacuees from this weekend, are the first European countries to commit to a transit country arrangement with the US.

Similar transit schemes are planned for Colombia, Uganda and Qatar.
Which countries have promised to take them?
The US has pledged to welcome 10,000 people from Afghanistan, while Australia will take in 3,000 under an existing programme.

Tajikistan said last month it was ready to shelter 100,000 displaced people from its neighbouring country.

Most European countries have been reluctant to commit to taking in specific numbers of Afghan refugees other than those who have collaborated with their own agencies, amid concerns of a replay of the 2015 refugee crisis.

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, told party colleagues that her country would need to take in about 10,000 at-risk people from Afghanistan, while emphasising that the majority of refugees will have to be sheltered in neighbouring countries.

The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has told the European Union to stick to past deals on migrants and refugees and aid neighbouring countries. Referring to a 2016 deal under which "irregular" migrants landing in the EU can be sent back to Turkey in exchange for aid, Erdogan urged his neighbours to "sincerely live up to their commitments".

Now that it fears increased Afghan arrivals, Brussels should aid neighbouring countries such as Iran to deal with any new mass movements of people, Erdogan said. "A new wave of migration is inevitable if the necessary measures are not taken in Afghanistan and in Iran," Erdogan told the Greek prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Athens has already said it may send Afghans arriving on its shores back to Turkey, which it regards as a "safe" country for migrants.

The UK has announced a settlement scheme that could offer sanctuary to 20,000 Afghan refugees over the coming years, with a focus on women, children and religious minorities. Canadahas vowed to resettle the same number.
Is the world facing another refugee crisis?
The United Nations refugee agency says more than 550,000 Afghans have been internally displaced since January, on top of 3 million people who were already uprooted at the start of the year. Most of these people, about 300,000 have left their homes as a result of the deteriorating security situation over the last week.

But so far there has been no noticeable exodus of people out of the war-torn country. With the Taliban having closed key border points, Pakistan having recently fortified its border with Afghanistan and Turkey - already home to a large community of refugees - it will be hard for many Afghans to find their way out.

Further Taliban crackdowns, droughts and the development of the Covid-19 pandemic could change the situation in the coming months.

A week after the Taliban takeover of the country, many Afghans are uncertain of what it will mean for their lives and their safety. Here, a young female student shares her fears about her future. The BBC is not identifying her to protect her safety.

"It is the seventh day since the country collapsed, the president escaped, and the Taliban, once again, came to power.

We are left behind...

Fear has taken over my whole being, and as the days pass, I can feel how hope fades away from within me. It gets replaced with frustration. All I can see is darkness, uncertainty, and a not so bright future.

I will be killed certainly. I have reasons to be...

This is how it feels when the ones you are afraid of occupy the country.

Imagine being on a long road, with no end, with hazy weather; alone.

I have witnessed so many hurdles in my life, many that no other girl would be able to tolerate. I could manage to overcome them, but this...

Hey world, do you care what happens here? Do we matter to you? Do you see us? Do you?

For those who are listening, for those who care, I am writing this. I am saying this.

We are suffering here, we are being left behind.

Living with fear is no less than death. It is worse.

If you are listening to us, help us. Help us survive, and once again believe in light and rise; stronger than before.

We want our country back. Want our people to live the way they want, the way they deserve.

Tell your countries to stop war - war is ugly, it has a dirty face, it has no winner. The heart is too tiny to bear war, to bear its consequences.

We are the fruit of war, some young girls drown in uncertainties, in fear, in doubts... looking for somebody to help us survive. Looking at our families and crying for being unable to do anything.

Looking at the sky and asking from him: do you see us, will you help us? Shall I have hope, that little hope!

Hey world, hey people living out there, lucky you! I envy the life you live.

Look at us. I was the one with so many big dreams, dreams of helping others and now I am seeking help.

This is war. Will I be able to ever say: We did it? We could make it? Will I?"

Also they were not confident of their country developing under the rule of the Taliban so they migrated to find better chances.

Migration is caused when a country is being threatened by a genocidal group of maniacs and people are alerted ahead of time.

In Afghanistan, people are evacuating to a safe place to escape conflict or to avoid any natural disasters.

The effects of migration are over population, locals need more resources to provide enough supplies for Afghans refugee.

The host countries might become overpopulated and also there will be a bigger competition for finding jobs for everyone.

And it will be harder for Afghanistan to develop will the loss of people

women in Afghanistan want to flee the country because of how oppressed they are. They have way fewer advantages than men, they can not go to school, drive a car, and many more, they are mostly only allowed to stay home or go grocery shopping. these conditions are horrible and they want to leave the country to have their rights, be able to walk freely in the street with or without hijab, and be able to have a job and do multiple activities just like the men in their country.

# data[].attributes.body
the possibilities are overpopulation, discrimination

# data[].attributes.body
the reason people migrate is to mostly find a better life elsewhere. For example Let's someone living in Burundi (the poorest country in the world) and their quality of life is not great, the city they live in is not good, the house they own is nice, but the people that live around them are, not people that have a lot, so ina situation of getting robbed they would be the first choice, and now after years they are fed up and would want to live somewhere else so they move to a country "better". Like they weren't a "poor" family they were probably able to buy a lot of expensive stuff, go to hotels and resorts around the country which would help the economy and so them leaving would worsen the economy even more.

# data[].attributes.body
The possible effects of migration include overpopulation in refugee camps which can lead to hunger and violent confrontations. They could also be underfunded and unable to provide resources to meet humanitarian needs.

# data[].attributes.body
The majority of Afghanistan refugees migrated to Pakistan and Iran. However the migration of so many Afghanistan refugees seem to have a huge effect on Pakistan. The government of Pakistan says that Afghanistan refugees are a big economic burden on Pakistan. The government also claims that the migration of Afghanistan refugees have caused $413.4 billion to be lost. The migration of Afghanistan refugees have led to more attacks and threatens the health care, job positions available.

# data[].attributes.body
The effects could be a high demand for flights out of Afghanistan and a mass immigration into Turkey, the E.U. and the U.S.

Migration can be seen as both a good and a bad thing for the host and origin country.

Some of the negatives are:

Immigrants may experience some forms of racism/segregation, The emigration of some highly skilled workers from their country of origin causes some brain drains in these countries of origin that set them back and don't help them progress, Immigrants sometimes rely on illegal immigration officers to let them in and this can cause some cases of human trafficking

Some of the positives are:

Immigrants add cultural diversity to some host countries, Some immigrants who have fled their countries can also get a better quality of life than they would've gotten in their country of origin they would have better education and opportunities and most importantly peace and stability,
